	[offset:0]
[00:24.18]	I painted names boats on for a summer
[00:30.69]
[00:35.00]	For luck, you keep the same first letter
[00:37.87]
[00:45.09]	You don’t want, you don’t want, you don’t want bad luck at sea
[00:52.22]
[01:06.40]	Rich Man’s Folly and Poor Man’s Dream
[01:09.62]
[01:11.24]	I painted these while beavers built dams all around me
[01:23.63]
[01:37.24]	And come September, come Fall
[01:41.06]
[01:41.61]	Holding a job was not believable behavior at all, so I split
[01:48.52]
[01:50.68]	beaver like a But is a dam builder, you never really quit
[01:55.53]
[01:57.96]	made some I dough and I socked it away
[02:02.15]
[02:02.84]	I always said for a rainy day
[02:05.71]
[02:08.22]	I truly never knew who I was working for anyway
[02:15.16]
[02:18.48]	The rich or the poor?
[02:20.54]
[02:23.39]	Who am I working for?
[02:26.35]
[02:28.72]	The rich or the poor?
[02:30.96]
[02:39.08]	When the hurricane hit
[02:41.20]	Some found it suspicious that I’d just since left the frame
[02:45.85]
[02:49.11]	Like all that time spent down by the water
[02:52.79]	Had somehow given me control over the rain
[02:57.09]
[02:59.75]	And some people say wrongly that I've wash things away
[03:06.79]
[03:14.40]	I Guess got my rainy day
[03:16.78]
[03:37.31]	Like a sorcerer’s cape!
[03:41.42]
[03:44.67]	The rain ripped the lips
[03:46.66]	Off the mouth of the bay
[03:49.47]
[03:55.33]	And rendered the eye
[03:57.63]
[04:00.33]	And sleighted the hand
[04:01.82]	And tricked the land
[04:03.39]	the And air blew away
[04:10.19]
[04:22.47]	Then came a quiet
[04:25.10]
[04:29.15]	No one should know
[04:32.89]
[04:48.74]	Rich Man’s Folly and Poor Man’s Dream
[04:53.74]	I’m painting while beavers build dams all around me
